"....Team Obama was spoiled during the campaign by highly favorable press
coverage that flummoxed their rivals (just ask Hillary). They benefited
from what we have always believed is the most consistent bias in
journalism: Reporters are in favor of a good story and against whoever is
in power.

"Like Obama, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush
all profited from being outsiders who challenged a familiar and fatigued
establishment. (The only winner in 33 years who followed a different
strategy was George H.W. Bush). Once the election is over, however, the
pattern shifts. The press tilts against the man who has gone from
insurgent to insider; criticizing a president is a better story than
praising him, and that's a good thing. Every president has enormous
ability to shape and control what the public hears and sees; only an
independent media can keep him honest and hold him accountable.

"So the White House should stop whining about a vast Fox wing conspiracy.
It goes with the territory."



I'm sure the outrageous summer, with the lies about the health care plan,
Death Panels, has something to do with the decision to finally do
something.

What should they do, just let Fox continue to get more and more off base?

You would think the extreme death panel argument would drive people away
from the source. Just how far would they take making **** up?

Did they kill grandma? Nope. I just read she's still baby sitting.

They're gonna, you watch!!!
